OK, as a soon-to-be FAQ, will I be able to
build a gcc-2.95 toolchain anymore?  I really
need gcc-2.95 as gcc-3.x.x generates fat code.
It appears that the gcc-2.95 toolchain hasn't
been touched in a couple of months.  I'll try
it anyway, but I guess the real question is
what are the future plans for gcc-2.95 ?
